LOL What a crap piece of article. The guy certainly does not know a shit. I have XP Sp2 with IE, and yet whenever I use IE loads of spyware come bundled, not to mention no adblock. Popups are disabled yes, but I hate those pesky flash ads too, and I am not going to install a third party tool to stop that.

The dimwit is comparing system requirements, IE without SP2 is a trojan, SP2 requires Windows XP. And try running XP on a 486 system.

Its a total ignorant article, IMO should be removed.

i started to notice that firefox has been eating a lot of memory, is it because of the browser or adblock, which some say has documented memory leak, but i got adblock plus, the memory increase is more evident if you load many pictures, on the other hand opera has been very low on resources.

Revert to FF 1.0.7 FF 1.5 is very sluggish. Infact Adblock extension doesnt work with flash ads on 1.5

The ppl at Mozillazine have also become very ignorant, I post that FF has become memory hog, and they start flaming that I should use another browser, if 20mb for a blank page seems too much. Bah looks like that forum is flooded by FF ignorant fanbois.

hmm even though i'm not that happy with firefox performance right now, it's still a hundred times better than IE and opera has never worked well for me. i miss the phoenix and firebird days :(
